Tango #3

The third volume of Tango sends its cool, casually dressed protagonist into Central American territory, as this Philippe Xavier cover places him relaxed in a chair at a small café table, a straw hat resting beside him, with the sweeping steel spans of a Panamanian bridge stretching across a warm, golden-hued sky behind him. The subtitle "In de schaduw van Panama" — "In the Shadow of Panama" — sets an intriguing, sun-soaked mood that writer Matz and artist Xavier bring to life with understated tension. Published by Le Lombard in 2019, this is a beautifully composed entry in the series that balances atmospheric style with the promise of intrigue.
